SPEAKER DETAILS

Paul Keister

I've been a professional software developer since 1994, and ran my own consulting company from 2003 to 2013. At Practice Fusion, I help build a cutting edge Electronic Health Record that connects doctors, patients, and data to drive better health and save lives.

During the period of January through May of 2013, Grant & Lewis ramped up from a business plan only to a fully functional line of business SAAS offering that was demonstrated at the RECON 2013 show in Las Vegas. In this presentation, Paul Keister recounts how a very small development team used the Microsoft technology stack to make this happen, including ASP.NET MVC 4, Entity Framework Code-first, and the Azure platform. The focus will be on Azure platform and how an Azure rollout differs from a traditional hosting model. Paul will share tips and insight that allowed him to save time, use resources wisely, and get the most out of Azure Cloud Services.
